how is this series
this is an awesome series. I read it all. its awesome. if u want info on any book ask me on this page!!!!!
this series is a very poular one from were i'm from. I read them all . some of it is a little harsh
This book is really good!! Something to tell you about it a little: three kids become orphans and are forced to live with their horrible uncle. It really made me interested because of it's words. They weren't any old words like bad or sad. It was like terrible or dreadful. I love books like that, so I think I look for just chapter books. I haven't seen the movies, but I prefer books a little over movies. Like 1% more! I read this a year ago in fourth grade, in the class library. I don't know why I hadn't read it earlier! It was so fascinating to read. I want to read the second, but haven't located it yet. I think this will be a new series to read. I think if you read it, you will enjoy it. Well I know that I did!! I'm crossing my fingers to find the next!!!! Until next time!!
It was a very good book, but if your one of those people who get sad easily or cry easily it's really not a book for you it does start very happily.
